zombification

[shenk]

well, the zombies exist of course, we haven´t seen anything like a headcrab zombificating a human, even in hl1, that would be pretty cool if valve add some of those scenes, headcrabs zombificating humans

what do u think about it? that will be more funny

 

[switch]

if they can pull off a morphing effect it would be pretty sweet.

especially if it happeneds to a known friendly NPC

LIKE ALYX, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

The closest we saw was a scientist with a headcrab on his face in HL1.

Actually the headcrab was kind of half inside his face
But do we know it takes such a short time? Maybe it takes like an hour... The ones in Half Life obviously had problems taking down both scientists and Gordon, hehe...

actually that be kinda cool... to walk in on a headcrab which has taken down a scientist and about to "zombiefy" the poor lab rat..lol

of course it makes sense that it would take an hour or longer before this "zombification" takes place.. but they could have little scripted sequences in which u walk in and see a scientist being zombified..

I seem to remember a dead scientist getting up and coming at us...of course we don't know how long he was dead for...

In Half-Life 2, they should have a special type of headcrab that turns you into a zombie the instant he jumps on you, kinda like the facehuggers in Aliens Versus Predator.

I wanna see somebody with a strider on their face, cause' striders are mutated headcrabs right?

 

[switch]

striders are biomechanical (think thats the right word) so i dont think they are mutated headcrabs.

 

[Typhon]

I still wanna see someone with a strider on their face. That would be...interesting.

 

[Prince of China]

That would crush the guy therefor, nothing more would happen.

 

[The hotdog man]

hell ya! it'd look mega cool espcially when they get forked by one of it's legs like a shis kabob oh that would be sweet

 

[figge]

The striders fires on u with their penis... gross...

I want to see the stage after the super zombies

 

[Morbo]

Maybe we'll see something like the "mouth" of the zombie taking form and opening, and the unnecessary internal organs would be rejected. HL2 would be released with a little paper bag with the HL2 logo on it.

It's funny how a little, weak Headcrab can zombifiy someone, making it stronger. Next, you have the Zombies, still kinda weak, a little while later mutate into a gnome. Then it's strong as hell, fast too. So now we reach HL2, expect to see a new mutation, something helluva tough and very fast. Time for new pants.

Striders are vehicles for the combine...

Anyways, I think the headcrabs should be able to latch onto your player, but you can use the use button to rip them off. Otherwise they'd do far to much damage for the little shits that they are ^_^

"expect to see a new mutation, something helluva tough and very fast."

I thinking of some sort of massive dog, dunno why.

yes remember one door that give u acess to the lambda sector or something like that? theres an scientist and a headcrab on his head, perhaps it take an hour or half an hour, dunno, but if u kill the headcrab the scientist says something that i cant remember very well, i think its something like this "Oh, don´t do it!" perhaps he was depending on the headcrab.. to just survive dunno its only my opinion

Not to flame, but please dont post speculation as fact.
